Chloe Olsen knew just what to do when her mom started choking on a tortilla chip.

She picked up the phone and called 911, but she thought she was calling someone else -- her dad.

Chloe: "Daddy?"
Operator: "Hello."
Chloe: "Daddy, mommy's choking."
Operator: "She's choking?"
Chloe: "Yes, she can't talk right now."
Operator: "OK, can you open the front door and I'll get help over to you?"
Chloe: "OK."
Operator: "OK, open the front door and we'll be right there."
Chloe: "Love you, bye."

Chloe thought she was talking to her dad because her mom had just been on the phone with him.
